Charity

What is different about us?
Founder Richard Evans has 20 years experience in charity fundraising including previously Chairman of the Institute of Fundraising Chilterns Region and a Trustee of a major grant giving charity.

Auctioneers are often concerned over the true provenance of traditional sports memorabilia at charity auctions. As part of our supplier risk assessment we don’t just rely on them being members of the various trade associations – we are extremely selective who we work with. What makes us unique is that our main focus is highly desirable works of art, often never seen before signed and numbered by the artist and not the usual sports memorabilia you see on the fundraising circuit. And our service is absolutely free to the charity.

We work with charities, hospices, schools, event companies and corporate businesses.

How does it work?
Working on a ‘sale or return’ basis providing an exclusive range of limited edition collectable photographic prints, and paintings by the worlds leading photographers and artists and an exclusive selection of memorabilia. A reduced price is set below the retail cost and any monies received over the reserve price are paid by us to your charity ensuring transparency and accountability throughout the process. All prizes are delivered free of charge within the UK within 14 days.

Sourcing and securing highly desirable auction products is incredibly time intensive for Fundraisers and not a good use of time – this is where we can really help. Legende Celebrity Art can also help by providing a professional auctioneer or celebrity to increase bids for live auctions.

We deliver the products to the event in advance, display them tastefully and are on hand all evening with our team to advise on each product in detail. For live auctions we take payment on the night using our portable payment machines and then once clear we pay your charitable cause a few days later. Working on a ‘sale or return’ basis the charity really has nothing to lose!
